15: African Americans in Special Operations-The Story of Kini Cole & Lt Colonel Arnold Stocker
Show Notes

Join us for another episode of SOCOM Athlete's podcast "Send Me" as we bring on our good friends Kini Cole & Lt Colonel (Dr.) Arnold Stocker to tell their stories, talk about being African American in Special Operations, and discuss their view of the current worldwide protests. Kini Cole is a former USMC RECON Marine (2nd Reconnaissance Battalion communicator). He has over 26 years of experience in local & federal law enforcement, including work as an undercover police officer. Kini is a 3x World & 3x Pan American Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Champion. He currently sponsors a 100% free program that teaches Veterans diagnosed with PTSD and their families. Dr. Arnold Stocker is a former Army Green Beret 18D, USAF Pararescueman (PJ), and now a Lt Colonel in the Air Force Reserve. He now works full-time in anesthesia as a CRNA. He is the founder of SFTA (South Florida Tactical Athletes), a program with a mission of mentoring & preparing men & women for special operations careers. We’ve had the pleasure of teaming up twice with Arnold, Kini, and SFTA for SOCOM Athlete's Miami Hell Day I & II. We look forward to the next event with SFTA, and if you’re training in South Florida, don’t miss the opportunity to reach out to Arnold & Kini to request their training schedule.
